Looks like someone has been dumping over the last week, in blocks of 100k

3 years on, and so maybe ready for a partner??? GLA;-)

Shrinking The Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

Instrumentation: Researchers develop the first miniature analyzer for mass spec’s quantitation workhorse

The first miniature triple-quadrupole mass analyzer is not much longer than a pencil.

To uncover the molecular composition of samples outside the lab, researchers have been shrinking mass spectrometers to make them portable. Various mass analyzers—the components of the spectrometer that sort molecular fragments and send them into the detector—have already been miniaturized, including ion traps and single quadrupoles. But triple quadrupoles, the mass analyzers of choice for most quantitative mass spec applications, have not been miniaturized—until now.

A team at Microsaic Systems, in Woking, En­gland, has developed the first mini triple-quadrupole mass analyzer (Anal. Chem. 2015, DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.5b00311).

The work “marks important progress in mass spec miniaturization,R21; says R. Graham Cooks, a chemistry professor at Purdue University. “Almost all previous miniature mass spectrometers have used ion traps.”

“The mass spectrometer for targeted compound quantitation is the triple quad, whether the application is environmental monitoring, food safety, clinical analysis, or whatever,” says Richard A. Yost, a chemistry professor at the University of Florida. “This is really the first commercial attempt to develop a practical small-sized and potentially field-deployable triple-quad platform.”

The overall mass analyzer is about 9.5 inches long, about one-quarter of the size of those used in conventional triple-quadrupole instruments, according to Steven Wright, the Microsaic scientist who led the development. The researchers demonstrated the analyzer’s abilities by coupling it to a liquid chromatograph and by using it to perform both single-stage and tandem mass spectrometry.

Microsaic wants to use the mini analyzer for field applications such as food analysis, including the detection of pesticide residues on apples. “We’ve shown that we can detect pesticides at 10 ppb,” a desirable level of detection in pesticide monitoring, Wright says.

But don’t expect to see a commercial instrument just yet. “There’s a great deal of system engineering to do,” Wright explains. “We have the core of the system. The physics works, and we’ve got the performance, but now we have to build a system around it.”

Yep, I'd like a few but funds tied up elsewhere at present. Gl

Good Morning Gismo, just need this to go some and I'll be back....bargain low sp's including here, everywhere you look. Gl :-)

Good morning moneymunch, thought I'd find you here!

[bobmonkeyhouse] 22/2/2018 10:14

Does it bother you that even ukog bulls think you are unhinged?

[bobmonkeyhouse] 22/2/2018 08:34

LOL The mug punters he duped onm UKOG think moneymunch is unhinged!

WTD--Yes interesting---with the exception of MoneyMonch who has gone now---and I felt slightly unhinged---we LTH have serious debates and can bring humour into conversation, smoething it appears TROLLS are unable to do---different Homo Sapiens species obviously---needs another Govt enquiry about it!!!

New product offering and the latest prototype for development, and so nice if they can surprise the market, and great if any other significant new arrives. Gl ;-)

Interim Results 28/9/17

Traditional markets

The Company is committed to working with its current OEM partners in small molecule detection. These partnerships provide important insights about customer needs and technology enhancements, as well as the capabilities and robustness of the Company's MS instruments in a real-world environment. Although H1 2017 was a very challenging period for revenues we are pleased to see these increasing again through continued close relationships with our partners. H2 2017 revenues from instruments and consumables are anticipated to be above H1 2017 based on current Q3 performance.

........

Post-Period end update

-- Appointment of Glenn Tracey as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")

-- Completed development of new extended mass range product offering, the 4500 MiD(R), and first delivery of units to customers

-- H2 2017 revenues from instruments and consumables are anticipated to be above H1 2017 based on current performance in Q3.

........

"The Board believes that Microsaic's technology is well placed to exploit opportunities in life sciences and is very encouraged with the progress made so far with one of our global partners, hence we are committed to focusing technical and financial resources on opportunities in bioprocessing."

Moneymunch,

I don't expect the H2 figures to be significantly ahead of H1 but perhaps marginally. This was already inimtated in the last results, so the market will not expect any surprises. What I'm more interested in, is the outlook over the next 6-12 months.

Let's see if anyone has the patience to hold.

[moneymunch] 21/2/2018 12:21

Confirmation of Improved revenues H2 2017 for sales of product, equipment and consumables to their existing OEM's in the Final Results will be well received and any news on progress with their global biopharma partner as well as any other new partnership contract and technology news should add significant value imho..Gla holders On and Up!!! :-)

Very strange as the MMs were bidding all day for Stock. The sells did not budge the price suggests that There is a Buyer or Possibly MMs are aware News is coming...Might buy some myself..If i can get around 3p. My resources are tied up in NCCL Neocondezi EPC and O&M bids due there and should see the share price multi Bag..DYOR

[moneymunch] 20/2/2018 16:47

Interesting to see the share price hold firm here, despite today's sells...hopefully news coming soon. Gla holders:-)
